KWU 133 Writing For Research 09-10
Welcome to our website! We are a group of students from Kobe Women's University who are studying abroad in California. We are a class that is all about learning and doing new things. In fact, we are part of an exciting program at our school back in Japan that brought us to study at Pitzer College. While we are here, we are taking classes, participating in service learning, and experiencing American life in home stay families. We plan to write about our thoughts and experiences through our writing class and post these ideas here on this website. On the left of this page, you can already see some of our ideas for the next few months. As soon as we get those articles ready, you can click on the links to see our progress. Please visit our website often to see what we add and how we grow during our time in beautiful southern California!
